Earns anA
Send your kids to school with a nutritious
breakfast and they might come home with
better test scores and fewer behavioral
problems. There’s no doubt about it -
breakfast is a big deal. Decades of research
have shown that kids who make this meal a
habit have better diets, healthier bodies,
higher test scores, lighter moods and more
mental stamina. No matter how hectic your
mornings are, it’s worth taking the time to
make sure your kids get good food before
school starts.
Does breakfast really make a difference?
Food fuels the body with glucose, the main
energy source for the mind and muscles. This
refueling is especially important in the
morning because the body hasn’t had any
food since the night before. Children’s daily
nutrient intake also tends to be higher when
they eat breakfast, according to the American
Dietetic Association (ADA). Whole-grain cereal
with milk and a glass of citrus juice, for
example, delivers lots of vitamin C,
calcium, thiamin, riboflavin, fiber, iron
and folate.
Children who eat breakfast are also
more likely to have lower blood
cholesterol levels and are less likely to
gain weight, miss school or visit the
school nurse than children who don’t
have a morning meal.
Make a breakfast plan
Mornings can often be the busiest
part of the day. To help make sure
breakfast stays on your family’s
schedule no matter how pressed for
time you are, try these tips from the
ADA and the American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP).
• Set your table the night before. Save
yourself a few precious minutes in the
morning by setting out dishes, cereal,
bagels, bread, fruit or instant breakfast
mix before you go to bed.
• Use last night’s leftovers. Don’t fret if
it’s not traditional breakfast food. A
slice of pizza or macaroni and cheese
warmed up in the microwave can still
provide needed nutrients.
• Keep your cupboards and fridge stocked
with quick, healthy breakfast foods, such
as granola bars, bagels, bananas, yogurt,
cottage cheese, dried fruit, instant
oatmeal, whole-wheat toaster waffles and
fruit or vegetable juice.
• Be flexible. If your child can’t or won’t eat
first thing in the morning, offer fruit juice
at home and pack a breakfast to go.
English muffins or bagels with peanut
butter, a low-fat cheese sandwich or
whole-wheat banana nut bread will travel
well. You can also ask if your child can
have breakfast at school-many school
cafeterias offer morning meals.
The best breakfasts include foods with
carbohydrates, proteins and fats. This type
of meal can satisfy hunger and maintain
blood sugar levels for hours. Sugary foods
cause a quick rise in blood sugar and
energy that fizzles out in about one hour.
The bottom line on breakfast
A morning meal gives kids an edge on
hunger, energy and brainpower. Even if it
means setting alarm clocks 20 minutes
early, find a way to make breakfast a
regular at your house-your kids aren’t
ready for school without it.

Important Community News
MESSAGE FROM THE CY-FAIR VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT:
The Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department is requesting homeowner
assistance in addressing the low hanging trees within the Copper
Village community. These low hanging branches or limbs are hampering
responses to calls for assistance. The branches and limbs are damaging
equipment and Homeowner’s trees. Routes to locations have to be
altered. Some locations are unable to have an alternate route, leaving no
recourse but to park the apparatus and walk to the location.
Several pieces of equipment are 13 feet tall and CFVFD is requesting that
homeowners trim the trees to have a 14 feet umbrella over the street.
The Department members have been instructed not to damage their
apparatus or the Homeowner’s trees by driving down streets that do not
have appropriate passage. The fire department does not wish to have
a citizen with a fire or medical emergency that delays them receiving
attention due to having to locate an alternate route or being forced to
walk to the emergency location.

CFISD Brings Safety And
Security To Forefront
With 2018-2019 Action Plan
Following a summer of planning, the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD safety and
security committee unveiled its 2018-2019 Safety and Security Action
Plan at the Board of Trustees committee-of-the-whole meeting on Aug.
9 th . Comprised of representatives of the CFISD leadership team, the
committee hosted a series of meetings throughout June and July to
review current security initiatives that are already in place as well as
explore what additional layers could be implemented for the district
this year. Featuring roundtable discussions with experts as well as input
from all campus principals and the Community Leadership Committee,
the meetings resulted in an action plan focused on prevention of,
identification and intervention of and response to potential security
threats during a time when the nationwide focus is on school safety.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s School and Firearm Safety Action Plan, released
on May 30 th , was used by the committee as a baseline to review school
safety and implement recommended strategies.
The following summary of the safety and security committee’s action
plan can be found in more detail on the district website under the “Safety
for All” block:
Prevention
The CFISD police department has increased its number of commissioned
police officers from 86 in 2017 to 108 for 2018-2019. The department will
also implement three K-9 units trained in narcotics and nitrate detection.
Two police officers will transition into mental health officer positions
8
to assist the guidance and counseling and psychological services
departments in addressing mental health concerns on campuses.
Safety and security upgrades funded by the 2014 Bond Program continue
to roll out at campuses, including secured entry vestibules, bulletresistant
glass, additional security cameras and emergency call stations.
Panic buttons will be installed in all portable buildings in 2018-2019.
All students in grades 6-12 will be required to wear a student ID badge
during the instructional day and will join elementary students in wearing
the badges on board school buses. All school visitors will be distinguished
by a visitor badge issued at check-in. Backpacks worn by secondary
students on school property are required to be clear backpacks.
Belongings carried inside or outside of the backpack are limited to no
more than two non-transparent 6- by 9-inch purse(s) or similar bag(s).
Approved extracurricular bags including instrument cases are permitted
in the building but must be stored in respective areas during the
instructional day. Visitors to Cy-Fair FCU and Pridgeon stadiums in 2018-
2019 will be required to limit bags to clear bags or a non-transparent 6-by-
9-inch purse or similar bag. All campuses will implement procedures for
limiting entry points for faculty, students and visitors. The district will
also continue to explore the possibility of identifying exit-only doors and
removing door handles on certain doors. Food deliveries for students will
be prohibited by fast food delivery drivers.
Identification and Intervention
Campuses will continue to advertise the Cy-Fair Tipline for students, an
internal and anonymous reporting system. A visible button will be added
to each campus website for easy sharing with the CFPD and campus
administration. The CFPD will continue to work with the Houston Regional
Intelligence Service Center to identify potential threats on social media.
September 2018 | Copper Village

Two mental health intervention teams, each consisting of two licensed professional
counselors, a licensed specialist in school psychology and a mental health
school resource officer, have been developed to assist students, administration
and parents in developing a positive and proactive plan for mental health. All
teachers, counselors, district and campus administrators, transportation and
community programs staff will undergo mental health assessment training prior
to the start of the school year. All elementary and secondary counselors will be
trained on completing threat assessment interviews.
Response
CFISD’s school safety and security committee will meet three times per
year and provide updates and reports to the Board of Trustees twice a
year. All campuses will continue to implement and practice emergency
operations plans, based on a template provided by the Texas School
Safety Center. All campus and district administrators will be trained in
the Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification Method
prior to the start of the school year. All staff members will receive active
shooter training prior to the start of the school year, while all CFPD officers
are required to complete active shooter trainings such as ALERRT and ERASE
as well as crisis intervention training. A mental health crisis response team
consisting of licensed behavior health professionals has been formed to
respond during critical incidents. View the Safety and Security Action Plan
presented during the Aug. 9 th Board of Trustees work session on the CFISD
YouTube channel. For all safety- and security-related details in Cypress-

NAVIGATING UNEASY RELATIONS
Figuring out how to handle strained relationships is hard. Emotions can
become tumultuous. Opinions can harden. How are we supposed to
live out our faith? Loving others can seem disconcerting, confusing and
just plain difficult. Sometimes we can even forget our Christian calling,
simply dismissing or degrading those whom we consider “other.” You
know, . . . THOSE People, THAT Person. How can we better handle these
difficulties? In this journey, we will gain new insights into the challenges of
dealing with differences between people. Plus, 12 principles will emerge
about loving God, others and self. Besides increasing self-awareness
through assessments, questions and discussion, we will become more
intentional in action.
WHEN? EIGHT Thursday Evenings, 7-8:30 PM September 6-November
1, 2018 and ONE Saturday Morning, 9 AM-Noon November 10, 2018.
COST: $20 per person (to cover cost of materials)
HOW DO I SIGN UP? Go to www.messiahlc.org/events

GOOD NEIGHBOR DAY
SEPTEMBER 28 TH
Neighbors are an integral part of our social lives - whether at home or at
work. Good Neighbor Day on September 28 th is an annual holiday that
promotes neighborliness and niceness towards people who surround us.
How to Celebrate?
• Be nice to your neighbor - at home or elsewhere.
• If you don’t know your neighbors well, maybe today is your
chance to go up to them and strike up a conversation.
• Bake some goodies and share them with your neighbors.
Bring them to work for your work neighbors.
• Invite your neighbors to your home for a meal.
Did You Know…
…that the word neighbor comes from the Old English word neahgebur,
where neah means near and gebur means inhabitant?
On September 28 th , National Good Neighbor Day is celebrated. This
annual holiday was first proclaimed by President Jimmy Carter in 1978.
Mrs. Becky Mattson from Lakeside, Montana came up with the idea of a
national holiday recognizing the importance of good neighbors in 1971. In
1978, U.S. President Jimmy Carter announced the creation of a national
day aimed at raising public awareness that good neighbors help achieve
human understanding and build strong, thriving communities. Since then,
National Good Neighbor Day has been acknowledged by various levels
of government and is celebrated every year. The holiday was originally
celebrated on the fourth Sunday in September, but in 2003 its date was
changed to September 28 th . On this day, Nextdoor.com, a social network
for neighborhoods, announces the recipients of Nextdoor’s Good Neighbor
Award. Everyone can nominate a neighbor or a group of neighbors
by writing a short story about what they have done to help their local
community and make it a better place. National Good Neighbor Day is the
perfect occasion to honor the people who make significant contributions
to creating safer neighborhoods and stronger communities across the
United States.

GARDEN TIPS FOR SEPTEMBER
Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects.
• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead wood. Light
green leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron cheleates.
• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around the roots.
• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth. Follow up with a
dose of fertilizer the first week of September.
• Plants come out of summer rest and go crazy. Insect populations explode as
we get into cooler temperatures. Diseases that have been dormant wake up.
- Citrus, croton, avocado and mango are susceptible to spider mites and
thrips. Discourage them with a strong jet of water from a hose directed to the
undersides of the leaves.
- Hibiscus, citrus, palms, gardenia and ixora are susceptible to scale and
mealybug.
• Winter vegetable gardens and perennials get planted.
• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies.
• Fire ants baits should be put out in September-October to lessen the number
of eggs that make it to Spring.
• St. Augustine grass gets its fall fertilizer during September. Continue to mow
at maximum height. You want to leave a lot of leaf surface to produce carbohydrate
reserves for the winter.
• Keep an eye out for sod webworms. First sign of them is grass that appears to
stop growing. You need to get them early for biological controls to work. When
the caterpillars are only 1/4 inch, Bacillus thuringiensis applications can slow
them. Bt is a bacteria that works on the caterpillars’ digestive systems and
makes them stop feeding. Do the application late in the day. The larvae feed
at night and you want them to get nice fresh Bt.
• When the heat and drought end, the weather could bring brown patch disease
in the St. Augustine grass. Watch for yellowish spots if the nights drop into the
60’s and days stay in the 80’s.
• Get any pruning of hedges and such done now. You want the flush of new
growth to be hardened-off before the end of October. Tree pruning should be
put off until winter, when the trees are dormant.
• Pre-emerge herbicide applications targeting annual bluegrass and the
earlier-germinating winter broadleaf weeds needed to be put out starting in
mid-August.

1 sprig rosemary
3 cups baby spinach, chopped
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
For the chicken meatballs
1/2 pound ground chicken
1/2 pound chicken sausage, casing removed
1/3 cup Panko
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil

onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender,
about 3-4 minutes. Stir in thyme until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Whisk in chicken stock and bay leaves; bring to a boil. Stir in acini di
pepe, rosemary and meatballs; reduce heat and simmer until pasta
is tender and meatballs are cooked through, about 9-12 minutes.

about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan, if desired.

APPLE DUMPLING
You could make this on National Apple Dumpling Day September 17 th !
INGREDIENTS:
1 pastry for double-crust pie
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups water
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Butter a 9x13 inch pan.
On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a large rectangle, about 24 by
16 inches. Cut into 6 square pieces. Place an apple on each pastry square
with the cored opening facing upward. Cut butter into 8 pieces. Place 1
piece of butter in the opening of each apple; reserve remaining butter for
sauce. Divide brown sugar between apples, poking some inside each cored
opening and the rest around the base of each apple. Sprinkle cinnamon and
nutmeg over the apples.
With slightly wet fingertips, bring one corner of pastry square up to the top
of the apple, then bring the opposite corner to the top and press together.
Bring up the two remaining corners and seal. Slightly pinch the dough at
the sides to completely seal in the apple. Repeat with the remaining apples.
Place in prepared baking dish.
In a saucepan, combine water, white sugar, vanilla extract and reserved butter.
Place over medium heat and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Boil for 5
minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour over dumplings.
Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Place each apple dumpling in
